Gateway Institute for Research and Development 6400 Barrie Road, Edina, MN 55435

Gateway Institute for Research and Development, located at 6400 Barrie Road in Edina, Minnesota, is a pioneering institution established in 2008 to address the needs of minority communities in the state. Specializing in entrepreneurship development and consulting for minority-owned businesses, our culturally sensitive approach ensures that our services have a significant impact. Through targeted training programs, we aim to spark interest in entrepreneurship, assist with credit building, help create business plans, and secure funding for aspiring entrepreneurs. For existing minority-owned businesses, we offer support through training in risk assessments, marketing strategies, bookkeeping, project management, business cycle analysis, and business plan development for expansion opportunities. Our ultimate goal is to increase the number of minority individuals entering the business world and reduce the rate of business failures caused by lack of resources and support.
